I'm still curious how you came to that assertion.


Maslow's hierarchy of needs. How could you have democratic egalitarian society when such fundamental need is not satisfied? You are potentially putting basic survival against higher logic and altruism and counting on later to win sufficiently big to have rational and fiscally responsible government.

For example, seniors would vote for expanding medicare coverage over other convictions. They don't care about costs - they will be long since dead when debt crushes the economy. Hence "Keep government hands off my medicare" protesters. As a result you have pandering or no-integrity politicians getting elected.
